Ugh, I hate Anubis. Any website with Anubis is spectacularly annoying or, in some cases, outright impossible to browse, if you have an even slightly outdated browser/system. It’s a really user-hostile solution.
If we are protecting against AI-building labs specifically, there are two outcomes:
They do not care to set up a special way of data extraction for those protected sites. Then, we can set Anubis to whatever low difficulty that it does not hinder users.
They do care and want to get the data behind. We lose.[1]
Because AI labs have a large number of… what they are called, again… massive parallel computation units… ah, GPUs, they have an advantage at proof-of-work. And if they choose to use them against humanity (a sleight of hand here, I admit), it will not go well.
Then, we can set Anubis to whatever low difficulty that it does not hinder users.
… unless it breaks entirely because someone has an old browser / weird browser / text browser / screen reader / NoScript enabled / etc., and the difficulty setting doesn’t matter entirely; and the result is that the user still can’t get through.
Have you seen Anubis?
